Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Preface

Safety Information

Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:

Read all instructions carefully.

▪

Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.

▪

Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.

▪

When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts specified by the manufacturer.

▪

Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating device.

▪

The load of the system unit does not solely rely for support from the rackmounts located on the sides. Firm support from the bottom is highly necessary in order to provide balance stability.

The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit.

There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Installation Recommendations

Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated.

Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following:

▪

A Philips screwdriver

▪

A flat-tipped screwdriver

▪

A grounding strap

▪

An anti-static pad

Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended that you do not use needlenose pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

▪

Shut down system automatically when the system’s internal temperature is over 80C.

▪

VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M will automatically shut down 5 minutes after the duration of low battery voltage is over 60 sec. User can detect this situation via software.

▪

▪

If the ignition is off and the system is still on after 3 minutes, VTC 6201 /

VTC 6201-M will shut down automatically.

▪

If the ignition is off, the user can detect this status via the software.

If the ignition is turned on again and the power-off delay is in progress,

VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M will cancel the delay function and will continue to operate normally.



▪

If the ignition is turned on again and the power-off delay ended,

VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M will shut down completely will power-on again automatically.

▪

If the ignition is turned off again and power-on delay is in progress,

VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M will cancel the delay and stay in power-off status.

▪

If the ignition is turned off again and the power-on delay ended (in BIOS process), VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M will shut down immediately.

▪

If VTC 6201 / VTC 6201-M is off, only below 10mA is used.

Startup and Shutdown Mode (Refer to SW2 setting)

The start up and shut down setting modes are as follows.

1. Mode A (default setting). When the input power voltage is 12V, use SW2 to select this voltage. Use the BIOS to select the start up and shut down voltages.

2. Mode B. When the input power voltage is 24V, use SW2 to select this voltage. Use the BIOS to select the start up and shut down voltages.

3. Mode C. When the input power voltage is 48V, use SW2 to select this voltage. Use the BIOS to select the start up and shut down voltages.

Chapter 2: Jumpers and Connectors

Chapter 2: Jumpers and Connectors

This chapter describes how to set the jumpers on the motherboard. Note that the following procedures are generic for all VTC 6201/ 6201-M.

Before You Begin

▪ Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated.

▪ Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following:

•

•

A Philips screwdriver

A flat-tipped screwdriver

• A set of jewelers Screwdrivers

•

•

A grounding strap

An anti-static pad

▪ Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

▪ Before working on internal components, make sure that the power is off.

Ground yourself before touching any internal components, by touching a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the electronic components. Humid environment tend to have less static electricity than dry environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever danger of static electricity exists.

Precautions

Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity. Working on the computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.

Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:

▪ Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are working inside the case.

▪ If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the computer case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body of any other grounded appliance.

▪ Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Don’t flex or stress the circuit board.

▪ Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they shipped with until they are ready for installation.

▪ Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.



Jumper

A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a cap. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the jumper is short . If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin, the jumper is open .

Refer to the illustrations below for examples of what the 2-pin and 3-pin jumpers look like when they are short (on) and open (off).

Two-Pin Jumpers: Open (Left) and Short (Right)

Three-Pin Jumpers: Pins 1 and 2 Are Short

Removing the Chassis Cover

Prior to removing the chassis cover, make sure the unit’s power is off and disconnected from the power sources to prevent electric shock or system damage.

1. The screws on the chassis are used to secure the cover to the chassis.

Remove these screws and put them in a safe place for later use.

2. Lift the cover upward then remove it from the chassis.

3. Secure the module with mounting screws.



Installing SATA Hard Drive

1. The metal bracket is used to hold a SATA hard drive. First, remove the screws that secure the metal bracket to the board then remove the bracket.

2. Position the HDD brackets on each side of the SATA drive. Align the mounting holes that are on the sides of the SATA drive with the HDD brackets’ mounting screws.

Installing the SODIMM

1. Insert the module into the socket at an approximately 30 degrees angle.

Apply firm even pressure to each end of the module until it slips into the socket. The gold-plated connector on the edge of the module will almost completely disappear inside the socket.

2. Push the module down until the clips on both sides of the socket lock into position. You will hear a distinctive “click”, indicating the module is correctly locked into position.
